THE NEAR FUTURE OF UTAH.

At last, with the prospect OF an open
field and fair play for incoming capital
and labor, Utah to-day presents the best
field for investment in this country. The
exhaustless stores OF crude material
locked up in her valleys, foothills and
mountains, furnish ample opportunity
for manufactures OF every kind, and on a
large scale. Her opened mines furnish
veins OF precious metals promise to be-
come in the hands OF newcomers. Her
immense iron mountains and coal fields,
contiguous to each other, indicate the
points at which furnaces and workshops
will congregate and toward which railways
will tend. Her admirable climate, in
which is blended every element of the
favored temperate zone, furnishing q
larger proportion Of inspiriting open air
working days to the year than any other
section Of the country, is of itself pow
erful argument in favor of Utah. Rail
roads present, advancing, and prospect
i've, assure the Territory OF every advan-
tage OF transportation. Markets for hei
crude and manufactured products are AT
hand north, east and west. Home mar
kets for agricultural and stock supplies,
assure her farmers, herdsmen and fruit
growers OF permanent demand
with profitable returns. Here, if any.
where on the continent, invalids
will seek restoration to health and vigor
With mineral hot land cold springs and
sea-bathing in the valley, and variations
OF climate furnished by varying attitudes
reached in two hours railroad travel
from Salt Lake, they have choice OF re-
treats. Educational and religious institu-
tions, the foundations of which are al
ready laid here, will attract families
from abroad, as we'll as from all parts OF
this Territory Under the loyal admins
tration OF affairs which must soon take
the place Of the repressive church hier-
archy, free school system will extend
the blessings OF education to the rising
generation now growing up in ignorance
and in hostility to the nation.
In short, a revolution is impending such
as at present none OF us, Gentle or Nor
mon, can fully appreciate. 1t means a
new departure, full Of promise to those
who avail themselves at once of the
opportunity to purchase property in

A REPRESENTATION of the Australian
bustard or wild turkey, in the Scientific
american, reminds one OF our old-fash-
ioned polygamists before they took to
their heels and the underground. The cut
represents one OF the high cockalorums
showing off, before a very plain and
solemn hen turkey, who stands trans
fixed with astonishment and admiration
at the puffed up and ludicrous object
strutting before her. The american says
"With the advance of civilization the
bustard has been driven back to the in
terror, and is now rarely to be met with. 1"
This is true OF the Utah bustard-or
rather "busted" as we call him.

A CONTINENTAL REPUBLIC.

The dream OF Senator Ingalls,, OF a
continental republic" embracing the
whole of North America, is shared in by
very many of his countrymen. He says
''It is time that the American people
awoke to the fact that the craftsmanship
OF the nineteenth century requires the
unification OF this continent under one
homogeneous government from the frozen
sea to the inter-oceanic canal, wherever
it may be built" "
The time may come when, rs practi-
cal question, the proposition OF the
Senator will receive earnest attention
from the people of the entire continent.
But at present the United States has
problems enough to solve within the
jurisdiction Of the nation, so that lit
were better to bear the ills we have than
fly to others that we know not of." As
States multiply in the union, the yet un-
solved problem as to the portion OF au.
thority to be conceded to a strong and
growing central government, without
trenching upon the reserved figfTs 0of the II
States, becomes more and more compli-
Gated. Now that war has happily failed
to cut the knot, wise craftsmanship must
devote itself to direct the Shin OF State to
the harbor OF safety, A mighty burden Of
war debt, conflict OF labor with capital,
our cities threatened by the multiplying
tiends OF communism and anarchy, an
lshmaelitish Sect holding the mountain
businesses in the heart OF the continent

DEMOCRACY.

Democracy means q government by the
people. In its practice it has always
held to the largest possible legislation
bv the people in the localities where
they live. Thus, the township makes all
the rules and regulations and holds such
elections as pertain to its local affairs
What the township cannot do is left for
the county, and what the county
cannot do is left ior the State,
and all else is left for the general
government In this way the power
emanates from the people and all laws
are made by the people through their
representatives. Monarchy and oligar-
chies reverse this order, and make some
central body or king the source OF power.
Now contrast this idea OF Democracy
with the idea Of the Mormon
Church, The church has one
head and body OF coun
selors from which all power ema
mates. Control OF legislation is the cardina
principle OF the Church power, and where
it applies its methods to politics they are
and must be anti-Democratic. There i:
and must be an irrepressibe conflict be-
tween the centralizing power OF the
Mormon political church and Democratic
methods and principles, on which the
Government Of the United States wal
founded and is conducted, Then
too, if there be one doctrine more
Democratic than another it is the
separation of Church and State, and
there is one doctrine more Mormon thai
another il is the union OF Church ant
State. That union must and will bt
broken, and the sooner the young men o
Utah awaken to this idea and join hand
with the Americans the sooner will
peace, happiness and prosperity come t
the Territory.

JUSTICE, AND NOT CHARITY

The action of President Cleveland in
vetoing the Dependent Soldiers Pension
bill meets with extremes OF condemna-
ton and appreciation. The difficulty OF
proper discrimination in the bestowal OF
pensions to poverty-stricken soldiers
over 81 years Of age, may ell cause hes
itation on the part OF lawmakers. The
noticeable feature of the discussion grow
ing out OF the veto is the lack OF sympa-
thetic appreciation on the part OF some
editors and legislators OF the sacri-
fees made by those who left family,
home and business prospects, inn
PEELED by patriotic duty. That all
who engaged in the military service
OF the nation were mainly moved by
high motives, cannot be admitted by any
one familiar with the composition OF the
army. But whatever motive was upper
most in the mind OF each recruit who en-
tered the ranks (and the patriotism Of
any man who would not enter the ranks
at the outset OF his military life may well
he questioned) as the war progressed and
ignoble spirits dropped out by the way,
those with good stuff in them became
more and more identified with the
cause, grew more patriotic and less self
ish. No manly man will accept charity
from individuals or from the
Government, unless compelled to by
dire necessity, and the editors and
politicians who sneeringly talk OF indis-
criminate pauper importantly on the part
OF soldiers past the age of 62 years may
Justly and tersely be classified as scrubs.
The Governmentowes it to every good
soldier who, by no vicious conduct OF
his own, is unable at the age OF three
score and upward to obtain bare living
to furnish him with the proposed pension
of $l2 per month. And the man who
would take the pension unless compelled
to by absolute necessity is himself sneak
and scrub. Ii the law could be properly
guarded against pretenders and impos
tors, it is the duty of the Nation to enac
and enforce it.

IT is not pleasant to swap off GER
tainty for an uncertainty, as has been
done in the Tucker Edmunds bill. 1t is
neither in the line OF good principles or
OF good policy. Whoever engineered
the alteration should be held re-
sponsible to the people and the
cause which suffer from the vicious
change in the hands OF the Conference
Committee. 1t not only clothes the
proposed law with an element OF uncer-
tainty, but it tends to introduce discord in
the ranks OF loyal men here. Governor
